How The Dark Curse Escape Room Works

What are the rules of The Dark Curse Escape Room?

In this innovative outdoor escape room, your group splits into smaller teams. Each uses a mobile app to navigate GPS hotspots, picking up tools and magic points along the way.

Who is The Dark Curse Escape Room for?

The Dark Curse escape room is a great way to explore new locations. It can be played outdoors or indoors, and it can add enchantment to conferences, team meetings or private parties.

How long does The Dark Curse Escape Room last?

The Dark Curse takes 90 minutes to work its magic.

What is an Escape Room?

An escape room is an immersive, interactive game where players work together to solve puzzles, find clues, and accomplish tasks in order to achieve a specific goal within a limited amount of time, usually to escape from a room or location. Escape rooms are a great way to improve team work by encouraging communication, collaboration, and problem-solving skills among team members.

Are escape rooms healthy?

Yes, escape rooms can be a healthy and fun activity for individuals and groups. They promote teamwork, problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and communication. On top of that, they provide a unique and engaging way to bond with friends, family, or colleagues. Just make sure to follow any safety guidelines provided by the escape room facility.

What is the trick to escape rooms?

The trick to escape rooms is all about team work! Communicate effectively with your team, think outside the box, and pay attention to detail. Work together to solve puzzles, find clues, and unlock hidden secrets within the room to ultimately achieve your goal of escaping within the time limit.

Do they actually lock you in escape rooms?

No, participants are not actually locked in escape rooms. The goal is to solve puzzles and find clues to escape within a set time limit, typically 60 minutes. Participants can leave the room at any time if needed. The event is monitored closely by the escape room staff, and you are able to ask to leave  at any point.

Client Kudos

I just wanted to say thank you so much to you and your team for organising a truly memorable Christmas party for the JAA clan. We had a fabulous time and the activities and events you suggested really hit the spot in terms of being accessible, entertaining and fun. I would highly recommend you all for any corporate event in Scotland!

JAA

Everything from start to finish was amazing and Jenny kept in constant contact – couldn’t fault Jenny or the company whatsoever. Organisation/Communication was 100% perfect.

White & Mackay

Maximillion was great! They were responsive and accommodating and we would definitely use them again.

Ross and the team at Maximillion were an absolute pleasure to work with and played a HUGE part in the success of the Phoenix Leadership UnConference 2023! From the very beginning Maximillion embraced the relaxed feel of this year’s conference and helped bring our vision to life! From a bespoke centre stage to Lego figurines, beanbag seating to branded sticky notes – everything was planned and executed to the highest of standards and myself and the wider team could not be happier! Maximillion have delivered many events for Phoenix Group, they are an extended part of the team and we honestly couldn’t deliver the events like we do without them!

Phoenix Group

Sarah and her team have proved invaluable to the organisation of our flagship event held in London. We partner with leading physicians from across the world to bring the latest thinking in cardiology to the participants, who come from many countries. This requires a team that operates to a high standard and can offer an experience that all involved remember. A foundation of this is the attention to detail, and a drive to get it right – mostly hidden from all when working well, but very obvious if not done. I have no hesitation to recommend Sarah and her team if you have an event you wish to deliver a the highest standards. The Optima team sends all our thanks to them.

The general comment today in the office is how amazing the event was and how much fun people had.

University of Edinburgh

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. This is the second time using Maximillion and on both occasions they have made the event! So much fun and so engaging. The feedback from all who attended was this was a brilliant session. Huge thanks to all involved.

Abertay Housing Association

Like many other professional service providers, we are often metaphorically ‘spinning plates’ and ‘juggling’ competing priorities, so it was great for our team to try these challenges in real life. We discovered hidden talents and it reinforced that working as a team and providing a supportive learning environment are key to delivering an excellent result. Thank you to Maximillion for your support and encouragement during this fun event, as well as for your professionalism in pulling together a slick activity for 220 people.

Lee Hamill, Director of Finance

Fantastic day and really enabled people to get to know each other and have a laugh at the same time. Exactly the aim!

University of Edinburgh

Just a note to say thanks for all your help with the Yamaha event last week. It went very well, and the client was very happy. I know she was a bit worried just because of experiences at other venues around the world where things have not gone according to plan. So for us to arrive and see it all set and ready to roll, put her mind at rest.
